Government Papers to Process

By An Leave a Comment
Categories: Uncategorized

Since I am on a break, I am trying to attend to government papers I should have processed long before. I need to apply for a replacement of my lost SSS ID and Civil Service Eligibility certificate, apply for a PRC license, and apply for the merging of my Pag-Ibig numbers and change my status to  individual paying.

I am now completing all the required documents and pictures. Gladly I have my passport now which doubles as my valid ID required in transacting with the different government offices. Fortunately, Civil Service Commission and Professional Regulatory Commission have their own websites. I have already registered in My.SSS and have checked on my contributions too. I have been peculiar with these things since I am on voluntary or individual paying status. It pays to do so. I have used my PhilHealth benefits when I was hospitalized. I know I can also maximize my SSS once I have my ID again. I will apply for sickness benefit and at least get some amount to carry me on while I am on break.

This is the downside of being a contractor – no work, no pay. Saving is really a must.

Tomorrow, my sister will join me to process all these papers. I must do these soon.

Welcome to my Second Life

It was 1135 am when I woke up in the recovery room. There was a nurse beside me holding my hand and keeping a piece of plastic still in my nostrils. It was an oxygen tube. I saw her rolled a piece of cloth and asked me to hold it firm against my right upper abdomen. I didn’t feel pain. I am alive. I have survived. I closed my eyes and let myself sank into a deep sleep.

I remember to be in front of my immediate supervisor last Friday. I was telling him that I need to be away from work for a month since I have to undergo a major operation. The pain really convinced me to decide this time. I was not sure if the money I have on hand would be enough, but just the same, I have to do it. I also talked to my staff leaving instructions. I knew that I will still report for work for  two more days before the operation. But I was wrong. I went to my doctor/surgeon for a check up and schedule for the operation on June 23 or 24. But she did not agree. After the check up, she asked me to go back to be admitted on the same day. No matter how much I haggle for the dates, she was determined to have me admitted the same day. I complied. I wanted to live. I want to live…

Kaya ng Pinoy Talaga!

On June 24, 2009, Manila will commemorate its founding anniversary. As practiced, Manilenos will be looking forward to festive celebrations, concerts, and other merrymaking activities in different parts of the city. Well, I expect some key areas in the city to be crowded. And I will be part of the crowd, not only to celebrate Manila Day but to be part of another milestone in the Philippine history as Balangay starts its voyage to Mindanao!

To kick off its five-year voyage around the world, the Balangay will sail on June 24 to visit more than 75 Philippine ports. The last port that the Balangay will visit is somewhere in Siluag before crossing the boundary of Sabah in 2010 to mark the beginning of another exploration. This time, Balangay will brave the waves and waters as it traces other coastlines in Southeast Asia.

Yes, it is over! You might have realized it by now with the weather hitting the country i nthe past few days. So replace your buri hats and slip ons with umbrellas and boots to brave the heavy rain and floods around the metro. 


Summer is over. Rainy days are here again. And it is back to school season once again! And that is a good news and bad news. Good news, since school is back and students have more time to go out. Bad news, since it is raining cats and dogs lately, expect to get wet!

I am An!

I am Anabel S. Suico. I am a Filipina who hailed from Manila.

I am juggling my time in the corporate world while struggling to keep my sanity within the four corners of a classroom during weekends.

I love to document through pictures things I do and places I go to. I love reading books and writing anything under the sun. I am advocating for the improvement in the Philippine education through the power of the modern technology. I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen while trying my very best to be a big lady no more!
